Silk Plant Info

One of the greatest joys over the recent years and something that I will remember for many more years is the excitement my mother showed when she received a flower arrangement. Like most folks in their older years and in a convalescent home they don’t have much and they are so thrilled and excited when they do have a loved one or anyone for that matter, remember them with a gift.
Having the privilege to look after my dear mother was something I looked forward to because I lived about two thousand miles away, and every six weeks I would fly back to spend a week with her. We were very lucky to also have some friends that would see to her needs and visit on a daily bases. Every once in awhile one of them would bring in a single flower and would put it in a tiny vase and this was one of mom’s special moments.
The holidays are so special for families to spend time together and yet the residents of the convalescent homes are much of the time forgotten. We are so busy in our daily lives that we feel that we don’t have the time, but please take 10 to 20 min out and visit someone in a home. A great idea is to show some love with a holiday silk Poinsettia arrangement. Keep the arrangement small and simple and watch the love it brings. Silk poinsettias are allowed in these homes where/as the live ones are not; and silk will last for many years. Another great idea is to share some love by giving a silk wreath to put on their wall and this doesn’t have to be only during the holidays either. The great thing about silk plants is that they will last and look so real for many years; you can get two or three different ones and rotate them among your older loved ones who are in a home.
